Hey gang—We’re doing another one of our sporadic but hugely enjoyable meetups. If you’d like to attend, we’re asking you to read the last 4 chapters in part B of the first book of The Sequences before you attend, so that we can discuss our thoughts on them at the Cafe. It’s almost exactly like a book club. The chapters we want you to read are:Religion’s Claim to be Non-DisprovableProfessing and CheeringBelief as AttireApplause Lights If you don’t know what the Sequences are, think of them like a collection of daily blog posts which together form a pretty reliable backbone for improving your thinking and being more rational. You can find the stuff you need to read here https://www.readthesequences.com/Fake-Beliefs-Sequence You can also find it for free as an audiobook podcast wherever you get podcasts from (Try searching for "Rationality: From AI to Zombies") We strongly recommend reading all of the chapters. Most likely we will finish talking about The Sequences and end up talking about other topics; Less Wrong, Current Affairs, Slate Star Codex, Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, Worm, Free Will, Efficiency, Podcasts We’d also be happy to move location, so if you know anywhere that’s cheap and pays a legitimate level of tax, let us know. And we also are hosting a Study Hall/Pomodoro every Saturday at 11:00 at Bristol Central Library
